The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
Surrender is just like love. That's why I say only lovers can become sannyasins - because they know a little of how to surrender. Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
RajneeshRead
Lovers, forget your love And list to the love of these She a window flower And he a winter breeze.
Robert FrostRead
It is inevitable when one has a great need of something one finds it. What you need you attract like a lover.
Gertrude SteinRead
A long time ago, there were lovers that lived on the opposite ends of a river. They promised to meet when the camellia flowers bloomed. But it rained so much the boat couldn't cross the river. So the two couldn't meet, even though the camellia flowers had all bloomed. Lets meet again. Before the camellia flowers wilt.
John The ApostleRead
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
Matthew McconaugheyRead
I do not want any patronage, as I do not give any. I am a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience which is God.
Mahatma GandhiRead
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Leonard CohenRead
Scratch a lover, and find a foe.
Dorothy ParkerRead
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
William ShakespeareRead
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
Albert CamusRead
Venus, thy eternal sway_x000D_ _x000D_ All the race of men obey._x000D_ _x000D_ Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis._x000D_ _x000D_ He is not a lover who does not love for ever.

A woman of generous character will sacrifice her life a thousand times over for her lover, but will break with him for ever over a question of pride.
StendhalRead
All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.
William ShakespeareRead
None but the ignorant can be bored by life. To the lovers of learning, life is pure adventure shared with adventurers.
Pearl S. BuckRead
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
William ShakespeareRead
Lovers can do their amorous rites by their own beauties
William ShakespeareRead
Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
Henry FieldingRead
Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love.
Raymond ChandlerRead
She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight,_x000D_ And I believe, in the morning you'll begin to see the light._x000D_ And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right,_x000D_ There must be fifty ways to leave your lover, fifty ways to leave your lover.
Paul SimonRead
Liberty has produced scepticism, and scepticism has destroyed liberty. The lovers of liberty thought they were leaving it unlimited, when they were only leaving it undefined. They thought they were only leaving it undefined, when they were really leaving it undefended.
Gilbert K. ChestertonRead
